Question

What is the value of y in the equation 4(5y –8 –2) = 185 –15?

Answer 1

In an equation the Left hand side must equal the right hand side 4(5y-8-2)=185-15 20y-32-8=170 20y=170+32+8 20y=210 Therefore y=10,5 When you substitute the 10,5 and solve it on the left and side it's equal to 170 which is the answer on the right hand side
